This advanced option must be set in an initialization (.ini) file. It is system-specific. We recommend setting this advanced option in the user.ini file

You can collect all the .uel files exported from your custom components and sketched profiles in folders, then automatically import them into new models. Use this advanced option to point to the folders that contain the .uel files. You must still manually export the custom components and sketched profiles to these folders.

To point to several folders, separate the folder paths with a semicolon. For example:

set XS_UEL_IMPORT_FOLDER=%XSDATADIR%\environments\default\components_sketches\;%XSDATADIR%\environments\common\components_sketches\concrete\;%XSDATADIR%\environments\common\components_sketches\steel\;%XSDATADIR%\environments\common\components_sketches\

When this advanced option is set and you create a new model, Tekla Structures automatically imports the .uel files into the model.
